Adi Shankarar Period

Many people including many Hindus have the understanding that Adi Shankarar time as in 8th century. But its not right, I may not have the knowledge to refute why its not 8th century but Kanchi Mahaswamigal from the Shankarar’s linage argues and proves it with many facts in 5th volume of தெய்வத்தின் குரல் in www.kamakoti.org The real time period o Adi Shankarar is said as more than 2000 years. Many learned Hindus themselves it may be shocking and might not even be able accept it…The proof goes to many pages with many historical and Sanskrit slogans proofs. It also shows how those ancient Indians had a beautiful and very complicated and yet very logical ways in determining of times using slogans and play of words in Sanskrit. And it’s a pity that our media has not taken this important message to world and especially to Indians. The west most, if not all always wanted to degrade Hinduism (since they abandoned Vedic religion and had converted to some other religions, they continue to have an aversion towards the mother of all religions). It’s a pity that some of our so called educated people also join in and want to say that Hinduism has nothing to offer, when it actually has everything to offer.
I really wonder when the time will come for media to act responsible and with any social sense. Ofcourse we know Albert Einstein quote, ‘Press controlled by vested interests’, but should this also happen in India? Which has had a great history of its own even before the printing was thought of in the west. Shouldn’t we take lessons from Tilak or Bharathiyar who both used press to spread the message useful to society?

Even in ‘In woods of God Realization’ Swami Rama Tirtha mentions how youth should use the media effectively to educate societies. Our schools systems is still under its colonial slavery and its no use to expect that children coming out of this ‘foreign’ system to do anything to feel proud of their religion or language or tradition, but it must be done by people who really love their country and more importantly the world, irrespective of religions. This is because as mentioned, Veda’s decide our Vedar(weather) and these vedas are preserved as now because of the work of Adi Shankarar whose arrival saw the disappearance of many so called religions out of the face of India only to take refuge in other countries(otherwise still India will be in confusion of 72 துர்மதங்கள் as mentioned by Kanchi Mahaswamigal). It’s a great duty and responsibility for everyone to celebrate Adi Shankarar birth day in great reverence and thanks giving for his contribution in mere 32 years which is unmatched in the world history for benefit of all by preserving Vedas.

The benefits of Vedas is for all, not merely for Brahmins. But its Brahmins who shall chant it for the benefit of all in the whole universe. And its not right to question why only Brahmins, can the nuclear technology be given to wrong hands? Wrong hands non disciplined might and misuse such a powerful tool to bring destruction. The same applies for Vedas to be chanted by properly trained in mind and discipline to chant it and preserve it and pass it for next generations orally. Again more of its explanations in better sense comes in www.kamakoti.org
